This is some of Hanson's W2, forged into a nice bird and trout. It has been hand polished to 2000 grit and etched to bring out the hamon.

The handle is stabilized box elder burl. I cant remember where I got it, because it has been in a drawer for several years. It is sanded and shaped to fit in the hand well. The scales are held in place with pins and G-flex epoxy.

The sheath is 7-8oz hand tooled leather from Wickett and Craig. The knife fits snugly and draws well.

Dimensions
Blade - 3 1/4" tip to handle
OAL - 7 1/8"

Price - $195 Shipped to US. I will send it internationally for and additional fee.

I have this posted elsewhere so the first timestamp saying "I'll take it" gets it.









 
Just a tick over 1/8" at the thickest but it is tapered both ways to the front and the rear.
